The Spirit Energy Bearing Laboratory, this is where Feng En conducted his experiments. Here, Feng Yuan and his team unsurprisingly found a large amount of debris, and the battle traces left here also proved that intense battles once occurred at this place.
The entire laboratory was destroyed from the second floor to the first floor, with most of its structure already damaged. However, Feng Yuan and his team were lucky enough to find a backup terminal.
Seeing the backup terminal, which resembled a self-service ticket machine with a deformed shell, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but be grateful that Chaos Technology was used here. Since this kind of stuff is the most illogical and unreasonable, even if the place is destroyed like this, as long as the terminal’s integrity hasn’t suffered fatal damage, it can still be used normally.
Upon starting up the terminal, compared to previous logs, the data here was much more extensive. However, many were research data, or rather, the contents of this terminal were mainly Feng En’s experimental records.
At first glance at the experimental records, War Qichen immediately moved to the side. Although these technologies had some reference value for them, they didn’t seem very useful in his eyes.
Based on Feng Yuan’s performance, these technologies probably weren’t advanced in the Main World either. Besides, he was somewhat resistant to experiments involving Spirit Beasts and humans themselves.
Qi Chen and the others only skimmed through a few pages and made the same choice as War Qichen, though their ideas were a bit different. War Qichen wanted to avoid trouble, while Qi Chen couldn’t bear it. Even knowing these were false Phantoms, the changes corresponding to that data would happen for real.
"Hmm, it seems his experiments weren’t very successful. But no corrections? I thought Chaos Technology would intervene in his experiments; unexpectedly, it was entirely based on feedback from reality."
After finally finishing going through those materials, Feng Yuan rubbed his temples and said. The data had little significance to him, and comparing it to the Main World technology he knew, it seemed rather backward.
However, even so, numerous unexpected incidents occurred in those experiments before the final riot. This wasn’t surprising, as even in the Main World with help from Divine Beasts, experiments of this nature were still treated with great caution, because even with Divine Beasts intervening, bizarre problems would still arise.
"Hmm, interesting. Although the data seems fine, from the dates progressing forward, you can see the recorder’s spirit collapsing."
Veronia wasn’t focused on those meaningless data. Those things had no value to them, but the mental state of the recorder drew its attention.
"Do you think that might be a side effect?"
Looking at Feng Yuan, Veronia asked. After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan replied
"I’m not sure. If it’s just spiritual pollution, I can’t determine if the costs are equivalent. Let’s go check out other laboratories."
Because they came straight to this lab, Feng Yuan and his team hadn’t checked the others they passed by on the way. By saying this, Feng Yuan intended to confirm a few things, as if his suspicions were valid, the costs might not be so simple.
Compared to the Spirit Energy Bearing Laboratory, the Aberration Laboratory had fewer battle traces left. The entire lab was relatively intact, but still, there were quite a few remnants inside.
"Aberration is research based on Qi Realm’s power to carry out alterations, but the person in charge here... doesn’t exist?"
After reviewing the terminal data, Feng Yuan was puzzled. If he hadn’t seen Feng En’s experimental records and knew the nature of this research institute, he might not have realized there was an issue.
However, the fact that the Aberration Laboratory’s research records lacked a signature posed a significant problem. This thing seemed real and credible but also somewhat stiff. At least compared to Feng En’s experimental records, the research records here were too routine.
It’s as if the result was known from the start, and the research was merely filling in the process.
Of course, these findings had no value to Feng Yuan as research conclusions. Aberration, after all, depended on the power of Qi Realm, which Feng Yuan always regarded with caution. This place wasn’t simple.
"There are significant issues."
Suddenly, Feng Yuan muttered a sentence. In this quiet laboratory, his soft murmur was prominently noticeable. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with confusion, not quite understanding what the problem was.
Dou Yanlan thought of something and asked
"Are you worried about Aberration?"
"No, the person in charge of this laboratory should be Luo Lei. At least, that’s what’s recorded in Feng En’s logs. However, there’s no mention of him here. If it were just that, it could be overlooked, but these research reports align perfectly with reality."
Shaking his head lightly, Feng Yuan stated. Qi Chen didn’t understand what Feng Yuan meant, but Dou Yanlan’s expression changed. After a moment’s contemplation, War Qichen probed with a question
"Do you mean to say this laboratory has a real-world prototype?"
"No, probably not. The research reports from this lab feel to me as if the results were known first, and then the process was reverse-engineered. Or it’s like copying a standard answer."
Feng Yuan spoke as he approached a piece of experimental equipment. As expected, these things were also Chaos Technology. Under Feng Yuan’s operation, the equipment started, emitting a bright yellow glow.
"These things overly conform to this institute’s special nature. I suspect this lab is also part of a background supplement."
"To have the background this well-complemented, do you think the cost could be just spiritual pollution?"
Speaking with a serious expression, Feng Yuan casually turned off the equipment. Although these devices could operate normally, even Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out the conditions they fulfilled, fitting reality yet not rooted in comprehensible theories of operation.
Of course, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this. Chaos Technology runs in such an unreasonable manner, flaunting most rules to forcibly achieve results impossibly understood.
"Why couldn’t it be that reality-based information was drawn in to supplement it?"
Curiously, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan. Although it agreed with his conclusion, it recognized other possibilities.
"Incomplete, although the research reports recorded seem feasible, they only appear so. To achieve such results, too much reliance on luck is required, which breaks away from a normal research process."
Facing away from Veronia, Feng Yuan stated without looking back. That was the primary reason he found the reports troublesome. At first glance, they seemed unproblematic; however, upon close inspection, Feng Yuan discovered much of the reports were purely gambling on luck.
This kind of luck-dependent material almost never appears in official research reports.
"Then, what do you think the cost actually is?"
Watching Feng Yuan with curiosity, Veronia inquired. After a moment’s silence, Feng Yuan responded
"I don’t know, but if the integrity of the entire research institute is high, the likelihood of it being merely a dream is very low."
"Hmm, isn’t that quite normal? A dream can’t block my world barriers."
With a light chuckle, Veronia said. Qi Chen and the others didn’t quite grasp the meaning of Feng Yuan and Veronia’s conversation. Costs more than just spiritual pollution? Is this matter worthy of such attention?
Even Qi Chen felt that Feng Yuan and his team seemed to focus on unnecessary concerns. No matter what, they didn’t even know Feng En, and having him from a Qi Realm timeline, the wars overshadowed any goodwill for strangers from unfamiliar timelines.
Thus, as long as Feng En’s situation didn’t affect their actions, there was little empathy for his encounters.
"It’s correct to say so, but if this is more than a simple dream, then what’s the structure of Qi Realm? I don’t believe Feng En has the capability to reside long-term in Qi Realm."
"Moreover, if the distribution hasn’t changed, Great Xia and Quine in this world should not border each other."
Sighing, Feng Yuan felt that the more he investigated, the more mysteries seemed to multiply.
Exactly where Feng En came from, why his dream would descend to this location, and the origin of this dream were all questions.
However, the shock from the Aberration Laboratory was no match for what Feng Yuan and his team found at the seventh laboratory.
Leaving the Aberration Laboratory, Feng Yuan and his group went to several other labs. They didn’t get many clues in those places, but when they saw that lab’s name, Feng Yuan stood frozen.
"Time Dimension Research Laboratory?!"
